7.26 LossInWeightScaleType Definition
7.26.1 Overview
The LossInWeightScaleDeviceType defines the structure of an Object of the LossInWeightScaleDeviceType. Figure 37 shows the hierarchical structure and details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 65.
An Object of the LossInWeightScaleDeviceType represents a loss in weight scale. It defines additional methods and properties required for managing the loss in weight scale.

7.26.3 ObjectType Description
Discharging indicates that hopper discharge operation is in progress.
BinWeight defines the weight of the filled material in an additional bin.
HopperFillLevel defines the fill weight relative to the maximal fill weight of the hopper (Unit: percentage).
HopperWeight defines the weight of the material within the feed hopper. This excludes the weight of the hopper itself.
Refilling indicates that a refill process into the hopper is taking place.
